Did you know?

UCLA track and field coach Jeanette Bolden is the head coach for the Olympics in Beijing, but She is the first U.S. head coach to have won a gold medal as an athlete. She won gold as a member of the 400-meter relay team in Los Angeles in 1984. She also finished fourth in the 100-meter dash. I’ll have a feature on her this summer in anticipation of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Trials are June 27-July 6 in Eugene, Ore.
